I like Alexandria, but I still prefer the sound of Alexandra. I don't think it would always get shortened to Alex. I think Alexa makes a nice nickname.

I like it.
Alexandria would inevitably get shortened. If you don't like Alex, how about:
Andria
Adria
Xandria
Lexa
Lexie
Alexa
?

I know two. My friends fiance's daughter is 4 and her name is Alyxandria and my cousins daughter is 6 months named Alexandra (no i). They go by Alyx & Alexi respectively.

If you call her by her full name and don't shorten it others will follow suit. Or you could use another nn Alexi, Lexi, Alexa for example.

I prefer Alexandra, but Alexandria is usable. Long and blue-blood, but still usable.

I don't know an Alexandria...only Alexandra's. I don't think it would get shortened if you never called her Alex...but it is likely that others will shorten it eventually.

I love it. I don't like Alex though...

Love it!

It is long, but that doesn't mean it's going to get shortened. I have a 4 syllable name myself and I don't shorten it in my professional circles. No one has a problem with it.
